Ok so I tried The flashable zip for the boot screen flashed fine but the boot screen won't work. Im pretty sure its down to my Rom which I made myself from The 2.2.1 froyo ruu using the Rom kitchen in Linux. So my question is where abouts is The bootanimation.zip on The froyo 2.2.1 rom so I can manually add this bootscreen as I love it.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] krzemyk1981:
good job, i can't wait to try this boot ;)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] bpye:
In stock aosp its system/media
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
Put it in /data/local/bootanimation.zip

This works for stock/aosp as well and its cleaner as it doesn't overwrite the original.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Deleted member 3005899:
Dropbox down upload it somewhere else please :)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] bpye:
You killed mai dropbox, mediafire... Note to self, dropbox bandwidth sucks.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] krzemyk1981:
thanks for a good advaice, works perfect.

Hey there mate I have a thread with bootscreens collection, updating it soon and will be linking this thread if you don't mind :-)

Cheers.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] fifarunnerr:
Doesn't work for stock for me. Looks like HTC has blocked it or something.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] s-android:
can any one upload it in another upload center?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] TiiXiboy:
ok so, from scratch, what do i do to get this work? What should i download etc? On cm7 RC1 atm, thx
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
It's actually written in the first post.

* Reboot in Recovery

* Under Partitions, Select /mount system

* Start ADB

* Type in the command adb push bootanim.zip /system/media/

* Then, /Unmount System, Reboot.

To setup ADB, there are various tutorials available all over the net. You will need only Android SDK to get started with it. Just look it up.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] nhnt11:
you dont even need the sdk actually, you just need the adb binary and for good measure have it in your path.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] pietpodlood:
Bootanimation too slow?

I flashed this amazing bootanimation and it was darn impressive, but it seemed quite slow, almost stuttering, so I tried OC'ing my little wildfire a little more but no noticeable difference... So I ripped open the flashable .zip and found that all the images that make up the animation was quite big, and batch-recompressed them, cutting the total size to about a third of the original, I then rezipped everything and flashed it on my phone... and it's now smooth as butter, the phone's memory simply wasn't fast enough to load images of that size and quality quickly enough to produce a smooth animation... The quality-loss is barely noticeable, but I'd rather have a smooth animation with a little quality loss than a stuttering animation... anyway you can do this yourself if you want to dictate the compression rate, and if you have the program to do it, or you can just download my flashable .zip file...

Oh and thanks for this brilliant bootanimation!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Starwarrior1981:
Or use Android Flasher, easy to use, can flash bootanimations, splash screens etc.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] PsyAnubis:
Great animation keep up the good work

Just thought I would pass this along. So, does this mean the Epic will see it 3 months later like Froyo?

http://www.slashgear.com/gingerbread-for-galaxy-s-in-march-confirms-samsung-25136186

[Update]

Looks like it's for real. It just leaked out for the SGS i9000 a couple of days ago.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/28/android-2-3-2-gingerbread-leaks-for-samsung-galaxy-s
[Epic 4G General] ss4rob:
As I've said in previous threads, if Gingerbread actually comes out for the Epic officially, I'll be completely satisfied and beyond happy with Samsung (I actually like TouchWiz, and would really like some of the performance enhancements Gingerbread brings). I'll even start recommending their phones again and forgive the whole Froyo debacle. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

PS: They didn't list a source, where and when did Samsung officially say this?

Edit: Silly me, I'm on my phone so I only saw the mobile page which doesn't link the source, looks like it was Samsung Germany - so I guess we'll see!

[Epic 4G General] sponge66:
If thats true..... then we should actually have a working version by... oh I don't know.. the end of summer :D

Based strictly on track record!
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Hopefully Sprint will be releasing new devices before then.

This way, if Gingerbread sucks ass like EB13, I'l get rid of this damn phone and get something else.

Here's to hoping though, not trying to be a hater, just sayin'
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
Thread should be closed now as no one else can put it better than this. ;-)
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
March for Germany means maybe by December for the good ol USA market. They keep trying to get all the bugs out before they hit their biggest market. Well at least that's what they say, but I think they always manage to screw it up with all the time they got...something about idle hands? ;)
[Epic 4G General] Silent25r:
Mines is working great. Much more stable and faster than d18 and ak28(?). Sorry I already forgot the build of the recent rom.
[Epic 4G General] Comando156:
We will not see 2.3 for the epic. There I said it. There is no point in even keeping your hopes up, its clear samsung does not care about doing updates but only selling units. Nor do they have developers that can even code a update without being pulled days after release.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Yeah wasn't it a post by Samsung UK that told us by end of 2010 for Froyo??? Whatever... once the few kinks are out on EB13 (it would be nice if sprintsung could fix it for the masses too) I will be content. I dont really see why they would, with the SGS2 coming out, I mean I guess if theyre already working on it, but its like we got the Beta of the hardware, with the supposed HDMI out on SGS2, etc... What I have learned, is not to NOT buy samsung, they make damn good hardware... its just not to jump the early adopter bandwagon unless they can put out a finished product at launch. Even if they are a few months behind, the others are just catching up hardware wise by then... theyre just catching up to the Epic with the spring phones coming out now :) Seriously, coming from my days in the high end home theater/distributed audio world, it would seem sammy operates their flagship phones like professional install A/V gear... expensive, and if youre an early adopter, youre paying for bragging rights, not a finished product... youre on the cutting edge. Its like buying a 3d TV right now... IF it gets beyond gimmick, you have what, a year or two before the standards are all set, and then your TV doesnt meet the standards... *cough HDCP* *cough HD-DVD*..... its a rich mans game...

HOWEVER: the dual core phones look to be so much of an advancement of their own, that they may sell just fine without neutering the SGS, etc... so they may just do it... it would be good to get every phone up to a certain point so that theres only a few versions of android out, keep it simple, and shut Jobs up... fragmentation... at least our radios work!
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Samsung UK did promise Froyo to SGS by end of 2010 and kept their promise...to the UK subscribers. Unfortunately the USA is a separate issue all together as we have the largest base of subscribers and afaik 5 different versions (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular). I would suspect maybe summertime by the time we get it, just in time when the new phones come out anyways.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
The original galaxy s had hdmi out as well...sprint gimped the epic.

It was supposed to originally have 16gb ROM, 1gb RAM, sd card(I don't think the original galaxy s had an sd slot ..) fm radio, hdmi out, blah blah blah

This phone waslaunching too close to the evo which sprin spent a lot of money advertising, so they had to gimp the epic so that everyone still thinks the evo is better hardware wise.
[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
Yes, I know the hardware is there... or looks to be (epic), but HDMI, TV-Out, and a few other things (docks) were supposedly part of updates that would be with Froyo... or so says the sprint rep... obviously the docks were committed to, but not the others, and I doubt they will officially implement the HDMI at least, as they are putting in a new HDMI control standard on the SGS2, so if you have a compatible TV your phone can operate some functions of it (volume, power, etc)... so I doubt they will bother with it. Hopefully our geniuses here can pick up where they left off. I agree totally that the EVO was the problem, I dont know about the advertising dollars drying up, that seems to be a thing with Sprint, but I honestly think it was gimped to make the EVO have any leg to stand on, other than for those who dont like hardware keyboards. They could have just put it out properly, and ignored advertising it as they did, and it wouldnt affect the EVO anyways. Especially with the EVOs supposed short supply... really??? how long has it been out, and they cant keep sprint corp stores stocked?? Sounds like artificially inflated demand to me. Is there a shortage of other HTC phones??? Are the execs pocketing too much and not investing??? I call BS, I think Sprint is in bed with HTC... I wonder if the EVO is so cost ineffective, that they are really all preorders in a sense, dont build em till theyre already sold...
[Epic 4G General] bondosho:
I honestly don't see a reason for Gingerbread on the Epic. The only real main difference seems to be NFC support (which we don't have the hardware for), and green icons.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Gingerbread brought a lot of other things that you didn't see (like how most of 2.2s advances weren't visible) including an improved jit compiler, copy paste in the gmail app and others I cannot think of at the moment.
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
Not gonna matter much longer anyway. We are working hard on getting CM7 working on the epic. 4g is going to be a nightmare, but I'm 100% confident we can get everything else working ;)
[Epic 4G General] juanaraya92679:
Started fresh (removed everything from my flash card) with odin to dk18 then, then odin eb13, flashed midnight rom 4.0 and then flashed 4.1. Flashed emotionless beast theme and this phone is stable fast and non replacable
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
If the EVO 4G had a better screen, I would gladly trade down processor speed for software stability (and a phone that just works).

For now, it's a love-hate relationship with Samsuck.

However, I'll probably jump ship at the soonest chance I get.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I disagree completely. The entire SoC that Samsung uses is FAR superior to the Snapdragon nonsense. The fact that our phones can play high profile h.264 natively without hiccuping at all is amazing. Even the Xoom with its new Tegra 2 Soc, which has a dual core processor and EIGHT core GPU mind you, stutters like a fool trying to do what our phone does. Its embarrassing. If we ever get this software crap straightened out, our phone will easily be competitive for another year until the quad cores start rolling out. The only way I would switch phones is if Sprint got something like the Optimus 3d which uses the new OMAP4430 with the same Powervr sgx540 that our phone has, except clocked 50% faster.

tl;dr - The hardware in our phone is amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything right now. Also, the screen is not the Epic4g's only differentiator.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
March of what year?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
umm...so then why get an Evo again? its far more unstable then our Epics...
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
So we still don't have an "official" froyo that has stuck, and March is just days away. I'm not holding my breath on Gingerbread (or a final froyo).
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
I'm a skeptic, I'm shocked, and I don't think it's true.... at least I won't believe it until I see it
[Epic 4G General] Mook1e:
I'm not sure what the problem is. They promised Froyo by eoy 2010 and we got it (dk28.) There are plenty of ROMs and Kernels to choose from which run perfectly fine, I've run a few with no problems and I'm on Bonsai 2.0.4 right now with no problems as my daily use ROM. Most of us are still running froyo, either dk28 or eb13 regardless of them removing eb13 from the Sprint site, and if we get even a leak of gingerbread like we did with dk28, most of us will run that. More custom ROMs will be made, and, with luck, CM7 will be a possibility. So, yeah, no problems here.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Sorry, but claiming dk28 has no problems is a complete lie... It has worked, sometimes better than di18 but just because you never saw an issue doesn't mean they don't exist... You just haven't been looking hard enough

For starters my wifi will drop and then not reconnect until I reboot.

mms usually won't go through

Sometimes sms won't either until I reboot

Contract pictures a stretched and skewed.

It will randomly take up to 30 seconds to wake up and go to the lock screen after it's been off.

Randomly reboots, only happened like 5 times, once a week or so.

If you have the keyboard open and the screen goes to sleep it will adot there flashing the keyboard lights on and off.

That's just off the top of my head the bugs I've found with 5 weeks on dk28
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Wow thoese are a lot of issues. I didn't have that kind of issues. I mean I did have a random reboot but only happed twice to me. I run wifi when I'm at home and never did my wifi drop or never wanted to connect with dk28. I did have some mms problems and sms but it was rearly. So I do agree with some issues but u had it bad dude. It suck that u had to go through that mess wow
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
That's Samsung Galaxy S, the Internationale version. Epic won't get it for at least 2 months after them.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
lol thanks for the sympathy. I'm actually still on DK28 though. The issues are annoying but I really am strapped for time so I'm holding off until next week (spring break for me) and then I planned on trying CM6.2 beta and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll have an ACS EB13 to try around that time too.

Seriously though, it isn't as bad as it sounds, DI18 seemed worse... Mine would commonly reboot whenever I was playing music and tried unlocking it specifically... that probably happened 20+ times to me.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Just give me a single core w/ hyperthreading equivalent. More cores mean jack until someone starts utilizing it. It will be the exact same thing that PCs have been for the past 3/4 years. If your apps aren't utilizing the cores, you're just wasting energy on idle cores.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
It will be a while if we see that
[Epic 4G General] Mook1e:
Sorry for your mis-fortune, but like I said, I've had no issues.

My phone is on wifi right now and it's been that way for 11 hours today (I do it every day at home) with no problems, minimal use and 81% battery remaining.

MMS is fine.

SMS is fine unless i'm in a low coverage area.

No problems with contact photos, not sure what contract pictures are.

No problems with wake up of lock screen.

I think I've had one random reboot in the last couple months. Same thing happened when on stock rom.

keyboard lights remain normal.

So, yeah, no problems on multiple dk28-based ROMS.
[Epic 4G General] riceknight:
Hell yeah! Can't wait for CM7!
[Epic 4G General] i_guana:
Whoa dude! What ROM variant are you running??? I've been using Bonsai4all DK28 for almost 2 months now and don't have those issues. The one annoying issue I do have is the earpiece speaker not always working when I place a call. I have to turn the speakerphone on and off to get it to work which fixes it every time. Oh, and my GPS is broken but I think that's my fault for missing a step when installing everything. Waiting on a fix that doesn't require me to wipe my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] smartdevs:
Hi guys,

I got bored of the sms popup as when i was playing games popups were pausing my game and I was loosing the game momentum.. :-)

SO I tried to develop a app which will show sms toast message but on background..

This Advanced Sms Toast is app which shows sms toast when you get a new sms and it does not halt your current work while showing sms.

If you feel the message is from some one important then go back and respond to the sms.

I have added some customization to this app as users choice to add Senders photo, Change color and position of the toast message.

There are 9 positions user can choose for where to place the Toast message on screen and 12 color options to choose from for toast message.

Fix and suggestions are welcome...

Hi,

I have been trying for several days to work a d2ext or d2w roms, but all has been unstable, it works for a day fine and then it starts to hang randomly, and i cant find any solution to it. Used all almost all of the d2w roms.

I have new sandisk 16gb class 4 sd card. Now i am going to neophyte stable a2sd+ hd rom.

Is this a general problem with these(d2w or d2ext) roms being unstable. And yes i don't lose data on reboots, but i get random hangs like hang when recieveing calls or in some application. And yes i have tried reformatting my card several times using gparted as well as amon ra recovery.

have u tried sibere's data2sd script ?

if u're looking for a ROM with this script take a look at Starburst
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hurin8:
Well, thats exactly what I am experiencing. I use the same sd card and the same rom (1.3.3.3 lite), and data2sd 0.7 (1.2 causes fc at first boot!).

I stopped rebooting, stopped turning the phone off for the night, as I could wake up at morning and either get a black screen with buttons lighted, or process.android.acore fc.

I have read the entire starburst subforum but I found no other with my symptoms.

Please help, it is driving mad!!!

[Nook Color General] rawfish:
As we know, the Nook Color's SD slot will always take first boot priority. I'm in a situation where even booting via SD through known methods are not working.

All these did not work for me, but hope this is useful to some. I've read testimonies from everyone that this is an unbrickable device, and I certainly hope it's true, and for a kind soul to help suggest more solutions. As I'm overseas, do you think I should call BN up to see if I can arrange to send my device back for fixing/replacement? It's been a month since purchase, and 3 weeks of failed restore attempts.

You sure you just don't have crap or badly burned SD cards? Sounds pretty much what happens if you boot s really slow/junk SD or burn it badly.
[Nook Color General] rawfish:
I tried on 6 different SD cards:

1. Transcend 8GB Class 6

2. Transcend 4GB Class 2

3. Wintec 16GB Class 10

4. Sandisk 4GB Class 4

5. Sandisk 2GB non-SDHC

6. Sandisk 256MB

I've burned stuffs like Autonooter and Honeycomb on these before, and they worked fine. :(
[Nook Color General] bonobomidwest:
First of all - great job in pulling all the resources into one place (it's small consolation, but i think you've just helped a whole load of people :) )

Second, i apologise if I'm telling you stuff that's obvious, but in helping out on these forums often it's the LOGIC of troubleshooting rather than the particulars of the problem that are important... In other words, only vary one thing at a time, and ALWAYS swap out every piece of hardware involved at each stage... if you always rely on one piece of hardware this might be the weak link... so have you tried a different SD drive or adapter? and have you tried burning from a different computer?

Now, I'm not being insulting, because I had a virtually identical problem with my first froyo - it just wouldn't boot (as you describe) despite multiple burns, different cards, all of the standard formatting tricks etc. It wouldn't work in multiple computers - the common element being the SD/microSD adapter. It never occurred to me that such an electrically simple part could be at fault, but you bet it was - in fact i would say in my experience these things consistently fail! (I spent a day kickign myself, because we know ho unreliable they are from using them in other devices). They also all look alike so it's hard to keep track of which one you are dealing with :) They also fail unexpectedly, so if you used an adapter before there's no guarantee it's working now...

Sooo... Have you tried a dedicated microSD reader (rather than a simple adapter)? I now carry one with me everywhere (it doubles as the world's smallest thumb drive too)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HGFKR8

Also bear in mind that froyo appears not to work on 16gb cards (i see you tried one)

Also, from my experience with other devices these cards are very sensitive to dirt and oil on the contacts. Certainly with enough frustrated handling you can get enough finger-grease on them to have them fail. Also they seem to be much less tolerant when writing than reading. I have NO idea how you would go about cleaning out the slot in the NC (and as someone who has ruined at least one DVD drive by blowing canned air where you shouldn't I'm not going to advocate for that). I have resurrected 'dead' SD cards before by cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip (on the card's contacts) - but again do so with great care (at your own risk!!!) and with your cheapest card, and make sure it si completely dry before you put it in the NC.

I have been generally a little scared that all this plugging and unplugging of the microSD might hurt the NC, so i have done everything i can to avoid that...
[Nook Color General] combustiblemonkey:
I am sure you can find someone local to you willing to help fix your boot issue but I assure you, its damn near impossible to brick a nook without physical damage.
[Nook Color General] rawfish:
@bonobomidwest:

No offence taken at all, in fact I am very appreciative of your contribution. I forgot to add the fact that I tried on 2 different card readers, plus indeed tried to clean the slot via an air duster VERY GENTLY as a last effort resort (I would not recommend this, it may cause permanent hardware damage). Once I'm free I'll go get a new SD reader (reads uSD only) and a new uSD which I haven't tried before. I'll try cleaning the contact points too. :)

*Thanks - I've added more checklists to the OP

@combustiblemonkey:

Thanks for the assurance. :)
